Thanks for your support
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the chat, both verbally, and in the file.
Note that not all of the meeting was recorded. We didn’t start recording until after the personal introductions. Then, when we did, there was a major hiccup. After silently updating OpenOffice, my machine decided to perform a Windows restart; at 19:23. It took me a few minutes to get back up and running with the same Zoom link as before. Consequently, you may notice that after the restart I ( Herb Miller ) appeared as Susan Miller.

Follow up to 25 SEO top tips
One of the SEO top tips is to use your focus keyphrase or synonyms in multiple places. It doesn’t seem all that easy to use the keyphrase in a sub-heading. Perhaps it’s better to use synonyms. Or could it be that keyphrase is wrong? I didn’t get very far with keyword research.
Here’s what I’m currently getting when I click on the Get related keyphrases button.
What am I supposed to do now? Is this something I’ve done wrong?
